-Strongest team on firearms rights in New Jersey wins pro-second amendment organization’s backing-

Until now, the New Jersey Second Amendment Society has not taken a position on the state’s new bail reform system. Though, after reviewing changes proposed by some of New Jersey’s worst anti-gun legislators, it’s clear our organization and other concerned civil liberty advocates must mobilize.

The Supreme Court put off the Peruta case, which could restore concealed carry in NJ if taken up, again this morning. Second Amendment advocates are eagerly watching the courts to see what the court will do with this case, because if the court were to strike down California concealed carry laws, New Jersey's would be on the chopping block as well.

We're back with an update on the National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act (HR38). HR38 nearly has enough has enough cosponsors for the bill to pass the House of Representatives as is. Currently there are 193 cosponsors of the bill, those 193 have already indicated their intention to vote for the bill. However of those 193, only one is from New Jersey. We're trying to change that though and we need your help.

Last week we updated you on our lawsuit victory that struck down New Jersey's ban on the sale and possession of tasers. This week? Democrats in the New Jersey Legislature are already working to make it as difficult as possible for regular citizens to obtain tasers and stun guns.

The Supreme Court put off the Peruta case, which could restore concealed carry in NJ if taken up, again this morning. Second Amendment advocates are eagerly watching the courts to see what the court will do with this case, because if the court were to strike down California concealed carry laws, New Jersey's would be on the chopping block as well.

Following NJ2AS' court victory this week, which forces the State of New Jersey to repeal its ban on tasers and stun guns within 180 days, Democrats are already vowing to make the laws regulating tasers and stun guns as restrictive as possible to discourage their use in self-defense. Winning the lawsuit was half the battle. Now we have to prepare for the revenge legislation.

A week and a half ago NJ2AS informed you of our court victory which got the State of New Jersey to admit in court that its ban on taser and stun guns was an unconstitutional violation of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution that recognizes our right to keep and bear arms. Well we mentioned in that article that all that was needed for it to be official was for a judge to sign it.

The Borough of Ramsey has tabled its ordinance banning gun ranges from the town for a fifth time now. They have posted the agenda for the upcoming meeting this Wednesday, the 26th, and the Ordinance is listed as tabled. Unfortunately, it is also listed as "unfinished business" as well...

UPDATE: 4/24/2017 - 2:30 PM

It appears we missed something. Today's order list indicated that Justice Gorsuch did not participate in many of the cases again. Though he did participate in some. This could mean, as we indicated in the article, that Justice Gorsuch has still not read the Peruta case in his attempts to catch up with the rest of the court, which could be why it continues to be rescheduled.

For the past two weeks NJ2AS has been watching a case that the US Supreme Court could take up that could restore our concealed carry rights here in NJ. Today we were expecting news about whether or not the court would take the case, however, it appears that in the last minute before the conference, the case was rescheduled to another conference. Again. The good news is that the court is still considering the case, however we are concerned about the serial rescheduling.

It appears that East Brunswick is quietly trying to ban hunting in their town. An ordinance is currently being considered by the East Brunswick Town Council that would ban hunting on private property, even when legal under State laws. The ordinance would seek to ban hunting in all areas except a few designated areas in the town. Resident hunters whose properties are not located in these designated areas are not happy and have notified NJ2AS.

As many of you know, in 2002 New Jersey passed a law that mandated that once any "smart gun" is available for sale anywhere in the US, then that will be the only gun that is allowed to be sold in the state of New Jersey. Considered one the worst "strategies" of the anti-gunners, they exposed their goal right out of the gate: to force every NJ resident to purchase the only type of gun they deemed fit! The sponsor and mastermind of the bill was State Senator Loretta Weinberg (no shock here). This law has had the effect of stopping any technological progress in the area of "smart guns." This has led to gun control supporting comedian Samantha Bee to do a segment on her about the stupidity of NJ's law and how ridiculous Senator Weinberg really is (as if we did not know).

NJ2AS has won another massive victory for the Second Amendment in New Jersey! The State of of New Jersey has agreed that its ban on stun guns and tasers is unconstitutional! The State of New Jersey admitted in court that their ban on tasers and stun guns is unconstitutional and has signed a consent decree that it will no longer enforce the law.

The Supreme Court will decide this Thursday whether or not to take a case that could strike down New Jersey's draconian concealed carry laws once and for all. The case, Peruta v. California, has been rescheduled twice for conference. Possibly indicating that the justices were awaiting for Neil Gorsuch to be confirmed before taking the case. If taken, the case could strike down New Jersey's "justifiable need" scheme, which denies carry permits to everyone but the privileged and powerful while leaving women like Carol Bowne hopeless and eventually murdered.

Politico is reporting that Michael Bloomberg and his various anti-gun groups have pledged to spend $25 million dollars to fight National Concealed Carry Reciprocity. Currently NJ2AS is supporting the House Bill HR38 and is working to make sure the Senate Companion bill benefits New Jersey Gun Owners as well.

We are back with another update on the Ramsey saga. Last time we asked that you contact the NJ Attorney General's office regarding the potential conflict of interest between the Mayor of Ramsey and the law firm that has agreed to represent them in the event that they pass the ordinance banning all gun ranges in the town, triggering our lawsuit. Well their office has responded to us with further information.
